Etymology
The term 'interfiled' originates from the combination of the prefix 'inter-', meaning 'between' or 'among', and the word 'file', which has roots in the Middle English word 'file', derived from Old French 'file' and Latin 'filum', meaning 'thread'. The concept of interfiling emerged alongside the developing needs of organizations for effective document management during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As businesses and legal systems expanded, the ability to efficiently manage and retrieve documents became crucial, leading to the adoption of the term 'interfile' to describe this practice of organizing documents within shared files. The evolution of this term reflects the increasing importance of information management in various fields.
